With online shopping at an all-time high, 2020’s Black Friday is set to be bigger than ever as we all prepare for a socially distanced winter and a very different Christmas. Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are probably starting to clog up your inbox right now. To help you wade through it all, our editors are sharing the deals that have caught their eye this year.
The North Face Cragmont fleece jacket, £100
Sophie Knight, picture editor
‘I’ve been keeping my fingers crossed this North Face cream fleece doesn’t sell out before Black Friday. With winter bringing colder days and most activities now taking place outside, I’ll certainly get the wear out of it. I’m going to order it large enough so I can layer jumpers underneath. It will also come in useful on the hiking holiday in the Scottish Highlands that I’m planning for next year.’

GoPro Hero 7, £319.99
Martha Ward, fashion director
‘I’ve been waiting for Black Friday to get my hands on this remarkable piece of technology: the most advanced GoPro. It’s durable, small and portable, and is a game-changer when it comes to extreme holiday pictures and videos. Whether you’re body surfing in Cornwall or swimming with turtles in the Caribbean, you can get the very best underwater and action shots with this neat piece of kit.’
Buy nowTheragun Prime, was £275, now £225
Lauren Burvill, acting audience growth manager
‘Having bought myself one during the first lockdown, I’m tipping the Theragun as the Christmas gift to give this year. While I’m sure we’d all love a relaxing beach holiday and a warm hug come 25 December, an almost silent, muscle-melting Theragun massage may be the next best thing. It’s a particularly ideal gift for those who have been working at the kitchen table for much of the year.’

Ray-Ban sunglasses, was £125, now £87.50
Tabitha Joyce, deputy digital editor
‘I’ve had my eye on these classic gold-framed Ray-Bans for ages, and now with 30 per cent off, it might just be the moment. It’s tempting to pair them with this year’s most talked-about accessory: a glasses chain. I love this gold-plated beaded one, also on sale – it would be rude not to, right?’

Leather-bound steamer trunk from Etsy, £250
Becky Lucas, digital editor
‘I love the fact that this trunk is from the 1900s and will therefore add a heavy dose of character to my home, as well as extra storage and somewhere to lay my copies of Condé Nast Traveller (other magazines are available), and my feet while I read them. I also like that every time I look at it I’m reminded of how dramatically the travel world can change (because I certainly won’t be using it for its original purpose – to cart along on my trips).’

Apple AirPods Pro, £199
Olivia Morelli, digital associate
‘Whether on hour-long Zoom calls, going for long walks or doing an at-home workout, I’ve spent the majority of 2020 with my earphones plugged in. So this Black Friday I’ve decided to spend my shopping budget on AirPods – specifically the AirPods Pro. They have more than 24 hours of battery life, a choice of three different sizes so they fit perfectly and – most importantly – active noise-cancelling built in, perfect for windy winter walks or when multiple Zoom calls are happening at once at home.’

Arket down puffer jacket, £175
Sarah James, assistant digital editor
‘With the majority of our social lives being conducted outside for the foreseeable future, I’ve decided it’s finally time to invest in a practical winter coat – something that will keep me warm and dry until the sun finally peeks out again in spring. I’ve got my eye on this oversized puffer from Nordic brand Arket. It’s filled with 100-per-cent recycled down and feathers to keep me toasty no matter what the English weather throws my way, while the shell is made from recycled nylon, which is a nice eco touch. I’m expecting it to feel like I’m wearing my duvet on takeaway coffee runs and dog walks. The dream.’

Chinti and Parker cashmere loungewear trousers, was £250, now £200
Corinne Brooking, video producer
‘Having spent so much time at home in the comfiest clothing I can find, I’ve been very eager to purchase some new loungewear. I spotted these cashmere wide-leg trousers a while ago, but managed to restrain myself. Now I have the perfect excuse and they are ideal for travelling in too. I wonder if they have a matching hoodie…?’
